Prince Rebel 2 Black/White/Green Men's Shoes Customer feedback
Comments: Pros:best shoe ever fits really nice first time you put it on. Feels like the lightest shoe. Felt like I had no
weight on my feet. Great feel on the court and looks better than the pictures. Cons: Laces need to be pulled super tight or they
keep coming undone but the laces look good on the shoe so not a big problem. Most concerning after warming up and playing
one set saw a little to much wear on the bottom. Soles are good just could use some improvement. Overall: If you like the look
get them they are worth it. Best fitting shoes I have played in a long time. Before these I was playing in adidas Barricades which is
a good shoe but these are a lot better.
Comments: I bought this shoe in January, but I didn't start playing in them until late February. I was really excited
about them because they were my first actual tennis shoe, but the first time I tried them on I noticed some problems. The
cushioning in the shoe was horrible, whenever I was running, I could hear the shoe stomp against the ground. After about a
month, I noticed that the shoe's outsole was starting to give away, along with the upper, leather part of the shoe around the
outsole. Now, after about 2 and a half solid months of playing, there is a hole that goes straight through the bottom of the shoe.
Not to mention the fact that the shoe does not breath at all. I have to take them off after every match that I play just to air out my
feet. Overall, I would have rather played in running shoes again.
Comments: Typically I can't and don't wear Prince shoes because they have always been a little heavy or just were
not comfortable. However, these are very comfortable and very lightweight. They fit like a glove right of the box and required no
break in at all. At first I thought they were going to be too narrow based on solely on their looks; they just looked real narrow. But
they turned out to fit more like a wider shoe. My only complaint is the length of the black/yellow laces is a bit too short unless you
lace them real tight and then the length is barely ok. They come with another set of solid black laces but I did not try them yet.
The laces seem to have a bit of a waxy coating and therefore are hard to make a tight knot stay tight. I usually have to retie them
at point during the match. I am 6'2" and about 185 and they give me all the support I need. As with all shoes the insoles in these
are worthless. I removed them and added my own which did not affect the fit of the shoe. The size is true too. I play on clay
typically and they are well suited for clay. Great shoe, very comfortable, stable, and light weight
Comments: I've been looking for a shoe to replace my Asics Gel Resolution 2 for a couple years now. This
seems to have the closest feel to that shoe. Great fit out of the box, feel relatively lightweight
on the court, even though the specs indicate they're a bit heavier. The shoe feels extremely
stable for baseline shots. I've only play-tested the shoes once, but my one concern is the
rubber is a bit harder than most, and the traction is poor on hard courts. I'm used to sliding a
little bit on hard courts, but with this shoe you have to be more careful because you can't
really control the slide once you get into it. Maybe the rubber needs to break in a little more,
I'm not sure. I hope so, because this shoe is a winner otherwise.
Comments: These shoes are great in just about every way. Low to the
ground, yet still comfortable. These shoes have a lower than medium
arch & fit me perfectly. Kudos to the Prince shoe design team.
Comments: I have worn asics gel resolution 3 and K-Swiss Bigshot. This
shoe feels more like the Bigshot -- low to the ground, medium wide not narrow
like a barricade, feels stable and I feel fast (the shoe feels light even though
it says 16oz). The color scheme is very nice (granted my fave color is green)
the green accents does not look too garish. I have gotten a few
compliments on the shoe. There is a rather nice reflector logo on the
back that says light speed and the pivot point on the sole looks like a
shuriken (how awesome is that). I really loved the fit and performance of the
Bigshot and this is as good. One thing it is a half-size smaller than
comparable sizes so if you are 8.5 on a k-swiss or asics, you will be a 9 on
the prince. Also Tennis warehouse is awesome!
Comments: I think its about time I leave a review for this shoe. Have to say, there are quite a few qualities that
make this shoe a winner in my eyes with the only clouding being one thing... Durability. Starting with the good: comfortable, light,
supportive, breathable, and a nice cosmetic. Coming from the barricade 6.0s, these felt slightly more narrow with a lower arch
(good for my foot) and much lighter. I felt like I could wear the shoes all day without any discomfort. On court they feel light and
stable, didn't have any ankle problems or problems with traction. As I had mentioned before though, durability was not near what
was expected. I have worn the shoes about 3.5 weeks and they are just about worn out. Apart from that however it is a great pair
of shoes, probably better for someone playing 2-3 times a week. I play college and am on the court 4 days a week for 3 hours
each plus matches and any extra time during the weekend.
Comments: Let me let the cat out of the bag here. I play hard court and I love Prince shoes. I have had numerous T-
22 and T-24 but strayed because they fell flat before the soles began to wear out, I have a wide foot. These Rebel 2 will put Prince
on top with tennis shoes again! They look very cool and feel superior to anything I have worn. Now I have my confidence back,
even on clay. The material used on this shoe is unlike anything I have seen - strong and durable but yet super light, so I feel like
you have substance on your foot. look at the 360 view to see what I mean. Thanks Prince, glad to be back home.
